Abstract

Failing grades is very common. Many students got failing grades by skipping classes. They are always absent in class and sometimes they do not participate in class. Many students from this generation never realized the importance of education. They are contented of having a 75 in their grade. But few of the students are grade-conscious; they study hard to get a higher grade. Unlike other students, they don’t care about their grades. Students can get a higher grade by participating in any extracurricular and academic subject in their schools, but some students are shy because they think they can’t do it. Many factors can affect academic performance. The physical condition of the student has a great impact on his/her ability to do good and understand anything. For example, if the student has poor eyesight, he or she might not be able to read well. If the student has a hearing impairment, he or she might not be able to listen and to understand instructions. If the student has a disease, it might impair his or her ability to do the required work (Albert Paul S.). Failing grades is one of the reasons why many students stop studying because, when they fail, some teachers do not give them a chance to prove that they also deserve good grades. Some of the students do not want to continue their studies because they are shy to see their classmates and teachers. The survey is the research method used for collecting data from a pre-defined group of respondents to gain information and insight on various topics of interest. The research design used was descriptive and qualitative research. Financial problems and personal problems are the factors that affect the academic performance of the students that may lead to failure. Under financial problems are the sub-problems like their parents are unemployed with unstable income and they have many siblings. Under personal problems, they are depressed and broken-hearted. According to the data gathered by the researchers, out of 6 questions, question 1 got "agree" with a weighted mean of 3.86. The second question got "disagree" with a weighted mean of 2.36 and 2.38. Three of the questions got "neutral" with a weighted mean of 2.86, 3 and 3.2. The 50 selected respondents from ABM agree to the given factors of failing grades. These factors include financial problems, personal problems, and school-related problems.
